More Rubik's Patterns

This is the second page of our Rubik's Cube patterns collection. It's amazing how many awesome schemes can be created on a 3x3x3 cube. Please let us know in the comment section below if you've invented a pattern and you'd like your algorithm to be added to our gallery.

Thank you for all the suggestions so far!

Bhagawati Rana Magar

how to solve only three sides of the Rubix Cube?.. tell us the Algorithm plzzzzz

Ziad Ahmed

I know it, it's on the other page: ruwix.com/the-rubiks-cube/rubiks-cube-patterns-algorithms
It's called 3 sides solved and it's used for magic tricks etc.

Rajesh Kadakola

M' S' M S and M2 S M2 S' are awesome

Mateo Allegre

Mix the first one with an easy checkerboard (R2 L2 U2 D2 F2 B2) to get flowers on every face
(i call it Flower Field)

Ariane Earl Repulles Betonio

what is B2 F2 D2 U2 R2 L2 mean?

Kaine Wilson

Backx2 frontx2 downx2 upx2 rightx2 leftx2 they are shortened down for short algorithms to solve the cube. Play the animations or read the notation: ruwix.com/the-rubiks-cube/notation

Dayakar Vikram

but if i put some of these i get the cube scrambled

Connor LaBryer

They all work you just you might not be doing them quite right.

Jack Rysavy

R2 U D F2 B2 U D L2 - I call it: HI

Felix Cleve

You could "upgrade this" by doing this from a solves cube: U2 L2 R2' D2 L2 R2' on three different sides. Then you'll get HI on almost every "angle".

Jack Rysavy

D2 R2 L2 F2 B2
(Alternatively: D2 M2 S2)
I call it: Picnic (There's hill-like things and on top there's a checkerboard, like a picnic blanket)

Sara Favero

What is M2 and S2?

Noah Wilder

Sara Favero M is the middle vertical slice between L and R, S is the middle slice between F and B. There is also H, which is between U and D. 2 means half-turn on any of them. See the arrows on the image.

Utkarsha Aparadh

Not a pattern but still posting it.
Its name is "GREAT INDIA"
Start with blue in front and white on top.
L R' U D B D2 B2 D'.

Farohar Batiwala

It's a waste. Doesn't represent India. Is this supposed to be the flag?

Niek Reining

D U B2 F2 D' U'
I love this one. i call it: stripe dot solved

Philip Chiang Xiao-Shen

It will look similar to the super flip on the U and D faces but it will be different on the F B R and L faces. I don't know what to call it.
R L U D F B R' L' U' D' F' B' R2 L2 U2 D2 F2 B2

Aabhya Smith

HARLEQUIN
D' F L2 D F U2 B U' R' L F B L2 D L'
- all colors on each face
- maximum 2 facelets of the same color per side
- same color facelets paired diagonally
Challenge: find a shorter algorithm.

Patrick Napat

D' F L2 D F U2 B U' M F B L2 D L'

Aabhya Smith

Patrick Zaa Your algorithm leads to more than 2 facelets of the same color per side. And by shorter algorithm... I meant using standard notation. That means no M, E, S.

Arne Kleijn

I think your pattern is awesome. First time I followed the pattern. I thought I screwed up. But then I saw what was going on. However I still thought it was a bit messy. And came up with this one. It's a bit different but based on yours.
B2 L2 U' R2 U L2 B2 L2 D' B L2 R2 D2 U2 F' U' R2

Utkarsh Rastogi

It's amazing I liked it very much and I would suggest everyone to use these algorithms as they really work...!!!!!

Raiza Mae Marcelo

i love all of them

Eybraham Laron

R2 D2 R2 U2 R2 F2 U2 D2 F2 U2 - The Flower with stem.
L2 U2 R2 D2 R2 U2 - for stem only :D

Janine Czubakowski

COMBINE BOTH AND YOU GET 4 CHECKER

Nicholas Khil

(R2 U2) x3 works for stem too

James Berryhill

R2 U2 R2 U2 R2 U2 = Snake Eyes PS. to solve it, repeat it

Sunčana Vuksan

Exchanged twisted peaks:
U L2 B2 R2 U R2 D' U L F' U L' D B' U L B' L R' U'

Jue Yuan

I make a wire+slash+stripe
It's method is: F B (U D F B) x2 (U D F2 B2)

Keenan Bruce

cube in cube in a cube lol

Jake Brucken

How do you put all colors on one side?

Jake Bowers

L2 D' B2 L2 B2 D' F2 D U' B2 L B2 F' L B' F U' F' U L2

Joshua Bradbury

(U D' R L' F B' U D')(F B' U F U F U L B L2 B' U F' L U L' B)
Six spots with two twisted peaks looks really cool.

Dovydas Damanskis

Nice one

Robin Chang

(E'ME'M)x2 ZMMUMMUUMMUMM i call it four Us

Kim Tsang

I found U2 D2 L2 U2 D2 R2 F2 B2 L2 F2 B2 R2 U2 D2 F2 U2 D2 B2 it makes H on all sides

Logan Lindsey

D2, L2, R2, U2, R2, U2, D2, L2, R2, L2.
I call this the "Broken Cube" pattern.
It looks like an almost solved cube, but you'll notice that something is amiss when you try to solve it.
There's two complete sides opposite of eachother, and the other sides consist of verticle and horizontal lines, not lining up with eachother.
It looks simple to solve, but it's not.

Arne Kleijn

Two plusses and twelve lines/pillars. They lines can also be set diagonally.
U B2 R2 B2 L2 F2 R2 D' F2 L2 B F' L F2 D U' R2 F' L' R'

Lê Duy Quang

Hey! I have a better Rockets algorithm:
M2 S2 U2 M2 S2. 5 steps comparing to the current 10.

LaVonne Anna

F2 L2 R2 F2 R2 D2 U2 R2 - I call it the "Dot Plus X"

Jamis Buck

Very similar to "edge triangle", but with a more memorable sequence. I've been calling it "under the sea" (the patterns look like angel fish to me...)
(F2 U2 R2) (F2 U2 R2) (F2 U2 R2) (F2 U2 R2)

Dushon Carlita

I made a cool pattern for people who know how to solve a Rubik's Cube. There are no notations yet, but it looks like a yin-yang. If you can write the notation for it, just comment and I'll check it. When you do the middle layer, try to swap the middle pieces so they're in the right spots but opposite from their colors, then solve the cube normally. After that, turn the cube down on the left and up on the right. I also like that two sides stay solved and the yin-yang pattern isn't all over the cube.

Marcus Wu

M2 d D M2 E' S2 D2 S2
Kind of like "The Pillars," but with a solved top and bottom.
I accidentally got this when I solved F2L with the cube facing opposite from how I normally solve and decided to solve the top to match the pattern. Then I figured out an algorithm for getting there faster. I've been having fun flipping the cube between this and solved.

Abhraneel Dhar

Try L2 R2 U2 D2 F2 B2

Vladimir Janjić

Please, try this one: B' F' L2 D2 B' F U2 R2 F2
